Description | Final approval has been given for the building of 1,600 settler homes in occupied East Jerusalem by the Israeli interior ministry.
The ministry is expected to approve the building of a further 2,700 homes, an official has said.
This comes weeks ahead of expected moves by the Palestinian Authority to have a Palestinian state recognised at the United Nations.
The campaign for recognition is strongly opposed by Israel.
Direct talks between the two sides are stalled, and there are no known current initiatives to get them re-started. |
